Parents, if u have assessments bks which are unused or scarcely used or Textbks…
These can be donated to NTUC fairprice to support the Book Donation Drive campaign…
Dont throw them away or sell away as waste paper…
Every year, my gal takes part in this book donation drive…
in the sorting n distributing of books at the end of yr…
She shared with me that it is a very meaningful event…
as some needy parents are really in need of all these books for their children… -
Hi! Can experienced parents share what do parents/ students need to do during the secondary 1 reporting day (I.e. the day after posting day sometime in December)? As me and my ds will still be oversea and will not be able to attend. Thanks a lot!

To all who asked,
From P1 to P4 we didn't buy any assessment books at all. In P5 we bought a few (we didn't put them in the stack). In P6, we bought books everytime we panicked
DS finished a few assessment books and past year papers. Some were left untouched and some we only chose his weak topics to do e.g. pattern, forces, synthesis & transformation, etc.
We bought waaaay too many books because we didn't know better as this is our first PSLE. Anyway, we console ourselves that we should just consider the books we bought in P6 as if they were bought over 6 years i.e. from P1 to P6
Thank you for all your wishes and congratulations. I wish our children the best :grphug: -

We gave majority of the books to Loving Heart at Jurong East. It gives free tuition to the needy. The rest of the books went to a single mother that requested for some books.
Btw, where is the recycle bin that you left your books?
Used books/exam papers went to the recycling bin downstairs. -

Do they also accept assessment books? I thought only text books.
Is it Primary School books only? -

You will have to fill up a proxy form so that your 'substitute' can act on your behalf. You can download from the comp, I think.
On that day, there will be a registration (by the form or co-form teacher of your ds in S1 so you get to see ds teacher), distribution of booklist, uniform list & forms, followed by a short briefing by the principal & key personnels of the sch. Some school have mini-concerts. Forms may include options for HMT & 3rd lang should you decide to opt out. For some schools, there may be a surplus of pupils applying for a particular 3rd lang so they may conduct selection interviews on the same day. Pupils who are absent will not be considered.
Uniform list will usually include the order of S1 orientation camp t-shirt. Camp usually happens on the first few days of school reopening & you won't want your ds to go without.
There will be teachers around to answer your queries should you have any.
The queues for both books & uniforms will be exceptionally long. Make sure your proxy is someone who is patient. But I think other than the camp t-shirt, the rest can be bought at a later date as the shops will still be opened after that day.
That's my experience. Perhaps other parents have more to add or correct me.
